Served in a tumbler at the brewpub.

I tried for a while to come up with some crappy joke involving explosions or something to start this thing off, but gave up, finding the endeavor just to trying on my tired mind. Maybe next time. Anyway, this stuff pours a cloudy milky-straw topped by a finger of white foam. The nose comprises grapefruit peel, honeydew, and lemongrass. The taste brings in more of the same, tossing in some light and flaky biscuits for good measure. Not too much in the way of Belgian yeast, really, as the hops dominate pretty much everything. The body is a rather light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a fairly dry finish. Overall, a pretty solid BPA, but one that's entirely one-sided in favor of the American-style hoppiness: Whatever Belgian character was intended seems to have been drowned out. It's still pretty tasty, though...
